The NMT current culture and policies regarding Alcohol Tobacco and other drugs (ATOD) have gaps within them. To address this issue ASAP has created the ATOD policy action team. The ATOD Policy Action Team meets to discuss gaps in NM Tech’s current Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs (ATOD) policy as well as create policies that will address those gaps. The ATOD policy team is comprised of NM Tech Administration, Campus Police, Student groups, Residential life, and other groups who are affected by the ATOD policies.
